Having continual issues with lights on dash flickering: 2 repairs completed in last 18 months and still broke. cosmetically, the car is crappy since the day i bought it; paint flaking off, tire rims have pitted, inside door handles flaking off paint too, among a few others. however, my heated seats burning through is what has me very irate! i was driving and had two adult passengers with me. both of us in the front had the heated seats turned on returning home from running errands in the city 45 miles away. my passenger is 8 months pregnant and i have low lumbar issues, so heated seats are always used. we had both complained that we found it weird that if we made quick stops during our running, when we got back into the car and turned the heated seats on, it felt warmer than usual. however, if we were somewhere for a longer period of time, the seats didn't get terribly hot right away. the car sat for 48 hours before it was time for me to pack up and head back to my own home, when i noticed what i thought to be a stain on my seat (from my daughters dog thinking he was going with me). after trying to clean it and nothing happening, i touched it with my finger tip, only to find that it was a burn spot. if that would have caught fire while driving, i could have crashed! i could have killed my pregnant passenger, her hubby and her unborn baby! since today is a holiday, you can bet that i will be calling the dealership first thing tomorrow. i am the first and only owner of this car. *js
I was going park under my carport and the car would not stop, i kept pressing the brakes down as hard as i could but the car kept moving until i pulled the emergency brake almost went into my house. another incident where i was crossing the thruway and the car stalled in the middle of the intersection with cars coming, close to getting hit by multiple cars, other incidents where the car kills while under the red light, have to restart it. *tr
Purchased 2007 sebring base model one month ago. had dealership complete all recalls before purchase. tail lights attached to the upper portion of the truck flooded/filled with water anytime there was rain and when you open the trunk it dumps the water on your head. all 3 break light seals were replaced and plugs removed to allow better drainage - issue resolved. emergency break light intermittently illuminates while driving - emerg break is off and new breaks installed issue still unresolved. delayed auto off headlights did not shut off. returned to vehicle 2 hours later with daytime running lights still on and since they are automatic there is no way to turn them off. after cycling the engine they shut off, but now fail to come on at all. in the base model there is no feature to turn them "on" or "off" - issue unresolved. the vehicle also refuses to change the setting to turn the "auto unlock" feature "on" when vehicle is put in park. this feature also refuses to work on "first unlock" on the key fob. the doors just continue to stay locked - issue unresolved. i hope mine does not start shutting off on me like so many other complaints. *tr
